Need Help Disabling Bluetooth Hotspot - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Does anyone know of a way to bypass the Sprint lock on tethering via wifi or bluetooth? I've searched high and low, and cab't find anything that will work with a stock rom. I'm running the latest update from Sprint, 5.03.651.3. I've looked high and low, and everything I seem to find is no longer in use. I remember I had an HTC One about a year ago and didn't have any issues. I had found a flashable zip file that bypassed the bluetooth tether.
I successfully rooted yesterday and am using TWRP 2.6.3. All of the info I can find is from 2 years ago, and mentions foxfi, or various other tethers, however, I've tried all of them and none will work. I'm assuming Sprint blocked the use during the latest upgrade.
I really want to stick with the sense stock rom, because I've gotten use to it, however, I've got a Parrot Android car stereo, and really need to have the ability to bluetooth tether to be able to use apps on the go.
If it won't be possible to tether using the original Rom, could someone please let me know a similar Rom that would work with the Sprint HTC One M7wls?
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Tethering on 4.3 HTC One Google Play Edition

After updating to the 4.3 OTA update on my HTC One (originally Sense, but converted over), I can no longer use tethering on the device. The OTA update when through by itself and didn't require me to flash the ROM manually.
Other devices will connect to the HTC One's Wi-Fi connection perfectly fine, but can't access the internet. It was working fine before the update and I do have tethering on my Fido cell plan (I tried the sim in an iPhone 5 and the tethering works fine). All of the APN settings are the same from before the update. I've tried different APNs, but that hasn't worked either.
Anybody else seeing this issue with either their genuine Google Play edition or converted Sense HTC One running 4.3?

I'm on Rogers and it's working just fine for me. It's a converted HTC One by the way. I'm not running a true GE ROM. But it's a custom GE ROM. Sinless 3.1 To be exact.
I did have the exact problem you speak of before though. I simply wiped out all tethering settings and re did them. I've also switched to Bluetooth tethering instead. Seems to work a little better for me than the WiFi hotspot.

I've got an issue with tethering, nothing I do seems to work. It works on 4.2.2 though
I just posted this in the general GE talk, but I can't use my WiFi after using the native tethering.. its like the native program isn't restarting the WiFi drivers properly

Unfortunately, both Bluetooth and USB tethering don't work either.
Scratch that! Crazy. Last night I was tethering and right while I was Bluetooth tethering it just stopped. After an hour. And now I can't ever get it to work again. I guess I'm joining in the crowd that can't.

I'm unfortunately in the same boat. If I slap the SIM card in my other phones it can tether effectively, I'm guessing something changed in 4.3?

I just thought its crazy it was working for an hour and then all the sudden it stopped. I even pulled a logcat of when it doesn't work it and the dev can't see anything wrong. I'll even attach the logcat here to see if anyone can find anything. You'll have to look for the tethering labelled sections unfortunately i didn't trim it down.

I don't think you're crazy. I believe it's specifically to do with tethering while on LTE. I have it working on 3G/H+ without a problem

I couldn't get it working for either. I typically only use H+ and shut off my LTE. There is a fix though for this.
IMO this thread should almost be a sticky as this affects many many people! Here you go:

[Q] Trevmod Wifi Tether on Android 4.4?

Hello all,
I wish to sneak past my phone networks (Three) tether block, so i can use my iPad on the bus via my mobile.
Has anyone got Wifi Tether by Trev Mod to work on Android 4.4? i seem to be running into some issues, and it won't show me an error log either.
If you have it working, or think you know how, could you please let me (and therefore others) know what settings you have used to get yours working?
I am working on Google Play Edition 4.4 (Android Revolution 5.2HD) rooted and S-OFF.
Thanks in advance!
Gary.

There is an experimental version of Trev Mod 3.4 that works.

[Q] Lost stable WiFi after updates, can't get it back

Hello everyone! This is my 3rd day of tinkering with the phone and since I can't handle it I'm asking for help. I'm a noob who read a lot, tried and apparently messed up.
I bought a new HTC One from T-Mobile in Poland, branded with CID T-MOB101 and Hboot 1.44. Everything worked fine but the phone still had Android 4.1.2 and no update available. I decided to get rid of the brand and get international stock version to be able to receive OTAs. I unlocked bootloader with htcdev.com, installed TWRP 2.6.3.3, achieved s-off using revone, changed CID to HTC___001 and used RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed . My phone did not see OTA so I applied updates manually in following order:
OTA_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.12-1.28.401.7_release_315849_signedp7vl8dqsvls0h1t0.zip
OTA_M7_UL_JB_50_S_HTC_Europe_2.24.401.1-1.29.401.12_P2_release_324936_signedma8j1sa3e2o09s35.zip
OTA M7 UL JB 50 S HTC Europe 2.24.401.8-2.24.401.1 Release 331108tottoh71qygw07hf
OTA M7 UL JB43 SENSE55 MR HTC Europe 3.62.401.1-2.24.401.8 Release 338160gxmo5sd9337kadux
After each OTA i tried to look for updates in phone's settings and found only two little updates (few MBs) that did not lead to bigger ones; I believe it was after first and third OTA.
After all this I started having WiFi issues. The phone stayed connected to my WiFi the whole time but after few minutes pages would not load, games would not connect. Resetting the connection would help for another few minutes (or less). Factory reset seemed to help a bit, the WiFi was able to keep the connection yet it 'paused' from time to time. By 'pause' I mean lose the connection for a second and regain right after, e.g. I could connect to games such as Hay Day, but after a ~minute I would lose the connection and have to reconnect (in game, without touching phone's settings) and redo last X seconds of game.
Because of that I went and applied ARHD 31.6 custom rom and hoped for the best. The situation remained the same so I flashed ARHD 41.0, yet the problem still remains.
In the end I downgraded my Hboot so it goes back to 1.44 and used the RUU I used the first time, after that I changed CID back to T-MOB101 and applied my full backup I saved by booting (prior to flashing) TWRP before I changed anything in the phone.
I did full wipe every time I changed the system and I did factory reset multiple times.
As of now I am on my backup with
Android 4.1.2
Version 1.29.111.16 CL175271 release-keys
Radio 4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05L
and my WiFi is unstable. I can browse internet, watch YouTube or do things like that, yet I cant play games requiring constant internet connection, such as Hay Day.
So my question is: What do I do to get it to work as it used to at the beginning? I would prefer having the newest Android version, but at this point I simply need a working phone so if anyone has a solution that would work on my current system or by flashing a new one I will be extremely grateful.
I've been having the same issue. Thought it was just me because I've looked for a solution ever since the Jelly Bean update. Mine is a Sprint One and worked perfect with the original firmware. Once updated wifi connected and would randomly drop for a few seconds and reconnect. I've noticed it's router specific. I had a Linksys wrt160 that had a problem at home, but at the office the Cisco E2500 works fine. I swapped my home out with an Asus RT-N12 that has the problem too, but not as bad. Was hoping KitKat would fix the issue, but it didn't. I've worked with HTC support for a while and they said the new rom's have updated wifi drivers so there must be some compatibility issue with it.
Think the best bet is a custom rom that has all the new kitkat features but the old wifi (and BT since the new one doesn't load the contacts in my car) drivers. Someday, I'll take the time to figure out making my own rom.
same boat

For now I'd recommend contacting HTC support and create a ticket so they know this problem is more widespread. That way all the new roms out there would have a working WIFI driver.
thanks

That's odd, when the first tier support couldn't figure it out they opened a ticket for me with higher level techs and they had me save a bunch of capture logs when the drops happen to email them. The carrier would be useless on this.

[Q] Enable Native Bluetooth Tethering

I have a family share plan w/ AT&T with tethering enabled; however, while WiFi and USB is available, bluetooth is not visible. I've been searching every where and haven't seen a solution for the AT&T Note 3 yet, but I did come across this thread for the S4 that uses a modified framework.res.apk file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47140596&postcount=1
From what I can tell from the script, couldn't this be ported to the AT&T Note 3 build?
Any thoughts?

I'm using PdaNet+ to BT tether internet to my Galaxy Gear. Gear uses PdaNet. I am running stock.
AT&T removed BT tethering, tried porting it over awhile ago but could never get it to work. Flash an Int'l ROM like X Note or wait for someone to actually mod it to work.
Edit: or follow the above and download an app that let's you tether through Bluetooth. They aren't going to be as battery friendly but a lot less of a hassle than flashing ROMs.
Thanks... I have been able to decompile and edit the framework-res.apk file on MJ5 to get the Bluetooth Tether option to show up and be able to be selected but the issue I am running into now is that it doesn't seem to broadcast the appropriate Bluetooth profiles. More to come.
We be great if you could get this to work!
Sent from my Note 3 SM-N900A rooted by Designgears
...so I gave up for the time being and installed the AT&T port of XNote via SafeStrap because I couldn't find enough information on how to enable the missing BT stack. Will likely revisit at some point. Thanks!

Wireless tether app verison and settings

Been playing around with getting tethering to work on stock sprint Rom with s off and root, to people that have it working could you post what app and settings your useing that worked.
Also I am opened minded to switching to another Rom that would help solve my tethering woes.
Bump.
So I've tired a few roms, viper and cm11, both 4.4.2.
And couldnt get tethering to work, so after reading some posts I'm thinkjng the problem is 4.4, id have no problem staying on 4.3 if I could tether, can anyone confirm this thanks.
Bump, con I get a link to the stock sprint HTC one 4.3 Rom atleast
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467607
Thinking of flash that to test tethering in 4.3 just kinda worried I'll mess something up, I have back ipso I'm not to worried.
